After Dorill's death Davad has gotten himself in trouble with other Old Traders. He started trading slaves and socializes with the New Traders. He has been the middle man in the offers the New Traders have made to the Ludlucks concerning Paragon. Only the Vestrits still call him a friend. He is called the Traitor Trader by some of the Old Traders.

Davad gave Rache to Ronica for help, as she blames him for the death of her son.
